I've owned a few Cobras with 500+ HP at the rear wheels, great track cars, not so great on the street.

Stereo in a Cobra, in the 30+ Cobra I owned, I only had two with a stereo, one never got turned on, the other, turned on twice, then left off for the next 8,000 miles I owned the car. Hence my question as to whether a Corvette would be a better choice for your latest endeavor.

That's what makes horse races my friend. Unless of course you want to buy me one. Then I'll build it just like you like it. ERA bodies too original I guess is the best word? I like a little something modified. SPF are too expensive for me. BDR is in the sweet spot regarding price as well as modern touches. I listened to my stereo every drive. Not audiophile quality, but good enough to make the ride more enjoyable.
